Take out

Code: [Select]
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="http://ad.xertive.com/st?ad_type=pop&ad_size=0x0&section=2874540&banned_pop_types=23&pop_times=1&pop_frequency=0&pub_url=${PUB_URL}"></SCRIPT>
      

If he could do that couldn't he just delete the entire script?

What browser do you use?

If he deletes it all it will entirely wipe out the page.
I'm not even sure this going to work because you can't edit the HTML of a webpage.


adblock doesnt work, and i cant delete the script. its starting to appear more often.

Scan for malware. The best way to do this I know of is Spybot.
